I would prefer to have 2 compatible strings just because
of that we don't know what is different compare to origin cadence
version. We have done the same for spi-cadence.c that's why
it shouldn't be any problem to keep it as is.
Having zynq compatible property here and using it give us option
that if another SoC vendor come with new configuration or clean
cadence one we can simple handle it without changing compatible
property for us.

thanks,
Michal
